[ts-7000] unable to install python-serial on 7800

[Simon Leung <>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install python-serial but can't do it.  Here is what I get:

:apt# apt-get install python-serial
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Suggested packages:
   libwxgtk2.4-python libwxgtk-python
The following NEW packages will be installed:

RFC2217_PARITY_MAP.items())
                                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

dpkg: error processing python-serial (--configure):
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
  python-serial
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


My source.list file is pointing to

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

I probably can download the source and try install using the setuptool but at 
the same time, the debian mirror shouldn't fail, right?


Thanks
